SUMMARY Penetrative petro-fabrics in plutons, particularly late-stage solid-state fabrics, are usually considered to record regional tectonism. However, these fabrics fundamentally ambiguous correlate with magma-chamber processes or tectonics. Understanding the of fabric formation requires a proper understanding pluton and emplacement mechanism. In this paper, we provide case study transition f...

We document the role of sedimentary burial and salt tectonics in controlling deformation style continental crust during hyperextension. The Iberian-European boundary records a complex history Cretaceous extension, which has led to development so-called smooth-slope type basins. Based on review available geological constraints (crustal-balanced cross-sections, profile evolution, RSCM thermometer...

the study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area wer...

Geomorphic parameters are very helpful as they can quickly explain the concerned area, which is going through a tectonic adjustment. For this purpose, four indices were applied to examine active tectonics in Quetta-Ziarat region. These include: sub-basins asymmetry (Af), transverse topography (T-Factor), hypsometric integral (HI) and stream-length gradient (SL). The calculation of three denoted...

The variety of temporal and structural constraints on the Alpine tectonometamorphic signature metamorphic core Betic-Rif orogen (Alboran Domain) has supported a long-lasting debate regarding tectonic geodynamic evolution Western Mediterranean region. Uncertainty still exists timing significance (a) orogenic construction; (b) exhumation deep roots orogen; (c) transition from shortening to crusta...

The northeast Banda margin is affected by the arc-continent collision between Australian continental and arc. Unlike margin-parallel strike-slip faults in other subduction zones, margin-oblique Seram-Kumawa Shear Zone (SKSZ) has greatly deformed forearc with 80 km displacement along plate boundary. It trends ∼ WNW-ESE comprising Kawa shear zone (KSZ, >200 km) on Seram island Kumawa fault (KF, o...

Abstract. Using digital educational resources (DERs) in science education is an effective way of promoting students' content knowledge complex natural processes. This work presents the usage resource CreativeLab_Sci&Math | Plate Tectonics, designed for exploring PhET™ Tectonics simulator, context pre-service teachers (PSTs) Portugal. The performance PSTs was analysed based on five tasks...

The rapid development of digital technology has an impact on the ease processing mass forms and appearance buildings in architecture. This significantly influenced tectonics as important part Tectonics is like finding a new window view from same existence. situation demands explanation position role contemporary architectural works. very to rediscover nature art construction face technology. pa...

Contrary to predictions of the tidal torque model, length of day (LOD) decreases over a series of fluctuations since 1960s at least. The so far deepest LOD depression of 1997 – 2010 corresponds to the most prominent rises of total seismic activity and global mean temperatures. A conspicuously flat interval of the LOD curve uniformly at or slightly below –0.1 ms level in 2001 – 2005 roughly coin...

[1] We argue that by fracturing rock, not by raising it relative to base level, tectonics plays its most important role in causing rapid incision of valleys and rapid erosion of hillslopes. Tectonic deformation riddles the upper crust with fractures, which not only provide avenues for water flow and thus promote weathering and further disintegration of rock but also fragment bedrock into debris...
